Using the CPT and ICD-10-CM manuals, code the following:
1 Allen Jackson gets very tired walking up and down stairs. He has a hard time catching his breath and experiences instances when his heart feels as if it is beating fast. His physician has told him that he will require a pacemaker implantation. Allen goes to surgery and has a single-lead pacemaker implanted with
a ventricular lead.

2 Five days after the pacemaker is implanted, Allen (from Question 1) feels very dizzy and his electrocardiogram is showing some abnormalities.

EXERCISE 17-4(Buck’s Step-by-Step Medical Coding, 2021 Edition)
Coronary Artery Bypass
Using the CPT and ICD-10-CM manuals, code the following:
1 Two coronary bypass grafts using veins only
CPT Code: ___
33511
_______________
The code for Question 1 came from the category Venous Grafting Only for Coronary Artery Bypass because the bypass was accomplished using a venous graft. If the bypass had been accomplished using an arterial graft, the codes in the category Arterial Grafting for Coronary Artery Bypass would be used to report the service. If both veins and arteries were used to accomplish the bypass, you would report the service by reporting an artery bypass code and a code from the category Combined Arterial-Venous Grafting for Coronary Bypass. Because the title of the category contains the words “arterial-venous,” you might think that the codes in the category report both the artery and the vein, but this is not the case. The category codes under “arterial-venous” are used only when a venous graft has been used in addition
to an arterial graft, and these arterial-venous codes are used only in combination with the arterial graft codes (33533-33536).
